Translation of the song lyrics Beni Çok Sev - Tarkan

Beni Çok Sev (original)

Bir kavga nasıl da hoyrat,
Savaşırken savrulurken büyüttü hayat,
Ben sensiz yapayalnızdım,
Suyum oldu, aşım oldu ama aşksızdım,
Bir vurgundu geçtiğim yollar,
Düşe kalka yaşanır mı öğretir yıllar,
Ben sensiz her şeye sustum,
Koca dünya dönüyordu içinde yoktum,
Sevdanı bulmak yıllar sürdü
Hoş geldin gönlüme kaderim güldü
Tut elimden beni çok sev kimseye verme
Seveceksen ömürlük sev, bir günlük sevme
İyi günde kötü günde
Sakla göğsünde
Sen bu kalbe iyi geldin
Benden hiç gitme
Tut elimden beni çok sev
Kimseye verme
Seveceksen ömürlük sev
Bir günlük sevme
İyi günde kötü günde
Sakla göğsünde
Sen bu kalbe iyi geldin
Benden hiç gitme
Bir sabahsız geceydi gönlüm
Gün misali gözlerinde güneşi gördüm
Bir dertli rüzgardım estim
Umudum sen, huzurum sen yeniden doğdum
Sevdanı bulmak yıllar sürdü
Hoş geldin gönlüme kaderim güldü
Tut elimden beni çok sev kimseye verme
Seveceksen ömürlük sev, bir günlük sevme

Beni Çok Sev (translation)

How merciless a quarrel is, jagged and wild,
Life shaped me, hurling me through its storms of strife,
Without you, I wandered—singular, exiled,
Water filled my cup, bread quieted my life, but love was not among them,
Each road I crossed struck with the thief’s bold hand,
Years, like old tutors, teach if falling, rising, one survives,
Silent, I folded into myself when you were gone,
The great globe spun and spun, but I was lost within its turning,
To find your love, I journeyed through the slow erosion of time,
Welcome—my heart throws open its doors; fate, at last, is smiling,
Take my hand, cherish me fiercely, let no soul take me from you,
If you will love—let it span a lifespan, not flicker for a day and die,
In the balm of fortune, in the bruises of mischance,
Hide me, a talisman, close beneath your breast,
For you, healer of this heart, have come like rain to thirst,
Never depart from me, never fade to distance,
Take my hand, cherish me fiercely,
Surrender me to none,
If you will love—let it span a lifespan,
Let not your ardor be a guest of a single day,
In the balm of fortune, in the bruises of mischance,
Hide me, a talisman, close beneath your breast,
For you, healer of this heart, have come like rain to thirst,
Never depart from me, never fade to distance,
Once, my soul was a night denied the promise of dawn,
Yet I saw sunrise blazing, kindled in your eyes’ horizon,
I was a wind bent with sorrows, scouring the earth for solace,
You are hope’s green spring, peace’s return—I am renewed by you,
To find your love, I journeyed through the slow erosion of time,
Welcome—my heart throws open its doors; fate, at last, is smiling,
Take my hand, cherish me fiercely, let no soul take me from you,
If you will love—let it span a lifespan, not flicker for a day and die
